Fully agree. It’s far past time to end this shutdown and get our 10,000 local federal workers back on payroll.
The country’s largest union representing federal workers is calling for lawmakers to pass a short-term spending measure to end the government shutdown immediately, urging Democrats to abandon their current position and join Republicans in supporting a stopgap solution.

A metastatic breast cancer diagnosis is a medical emergency, not a moment for red tape. This bill ensures patients get the care they need without waiting months for help that can’t wait.

I am encouraged by this positive step toward ensuring the continuity of care for our community. These hospitals are essential to Scranton and the broader region, not only as providers of critical health services, but as major employers and anchors of our local economy. My team

Today we toured Lackawanna College in Scranton to see firsthand their growing programs in trades, technology, and healthcare. It’s inspiring to see how Lackawanna is expanding opportunity and preparing students for good-paying jobs across NEPA.

Thank you, @SenMcCormickPA and @SenFettermanPA for doing right by Pennsylvania families and federal workers! It’s time to reopen our government!
.@SenFettermanPA and I are here to say it loud and clear: it’s time to reopen the government. We’ve voted to do it every chance we’ve had because Pennsylvanians deserve it.

Today we visited our local Head Start to read to students and meet with dedicated staff. Programs like Head Start give every child a strong start in life, thank you to the teachers and team members who make that possible every day.

This is Washington Democrats saying the quiet part out loud. They would rather hold the federal government and the American people hostage over their demands than get back to work.
🚨 @WhipKClark, the number two House Democrat, on the Democrat Shutdown: "Of course there will be families that are going to suffer... but it is one of the few leverage times we have." These people are SICK!

Millions of hardworking Americans are being hit with higher premiums because of short-sighted Democratic decisions. These were COVID-era tax credits that Democrats set to expire, and they’ve failed to lower the cost of healthcare. Without real, meaningful reform, healthcare will

Day 21 of the government shutdown. Last week, I hosted a telephone town hall with 13,000+ NEPA residents to share updates, answer questions, and listen. My office remains open and ready to help anyone impacted.

Today we loaded up the BresnaVan with Luca Pizza and delivered it to the incredible air traffic controllers at AVP. Even during the shutdown, they’re keeping our skies safe, without pay. That’s why I’m backing the Aviation Funding Stability Act.

People are hurting while Washington Democrats play politics. Every day this shutdown drags on, more working families wonder how they’ll put food on the table or pay their bills. I voted to fund the government because that is the responsible thing to do. Stop using our

Today, we toured McCarthy Tire in Wilkes-Barre alongside @RepMeuser to discuss the Retreaded Tire Jobs & Sustainability Act. McCarthy retreaded over 500K tires in 2024, boosting jobs, cutting waste, and saving millions in resources.

Every woman deserves a fair shot at early detection. The Find It Early Act removes cost barriers to lifesaving breast cancer screenings, because your health shouldn’t depend on your coverage plan.

The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act holds Congress accountable and keeps the government running. No recess. No excuses.
